L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Intense

Issey Miyake · 2007

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Intense is a men's fragrance that links a fresh opening of yuzu and orange to the spicy warmth of cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon. The citrus opening is built from yuzu, orange, bergamot and mandarin orange zest, giving it a fresh, green feel. In the heart, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon and saffron bring the spice, while blue lotus and camphor cool it down. The base of frankincense, papyrus, benzoin and ambergris settles into a woody, lightly smoky finish. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. About half of voters call it masculine, with some calling it modern or classic. Baldessarini Del Mar (Eau de Toilette) and Sober Kyōto have a close profile.

Issey Miyake · 2009

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau d'Été Summer Edition 2009 is a masculine summer scent that pairs yuzu and mandarin orange with the floral coolness of vervain and blue lotus. It has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate, though that rests on only a handful of votes. The fresh, aquatic tone suits warm days, and it reads clearly masculine. Citrus freshness leads, softened by a floral and green character. Thyme, coriander and cypress deepen the green side, while cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron add a spicy warmth. Sandalwood, vetiver and musk form a woody base. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau d'Été Summer Edition 2005 and Edition Bois have a close profile.
